When people say dreams don’t come true, tell them about Rudy
Ever since he was a little boy, Rudy Ruettiger has dreamed of attending Notre Dame University and playing on the Fighting Irish football team. But Rudy’s dream doesn’t seem very practical as his grades are not especially impressive, and standing a shade over five feet tall and weighing a little over 100 pounds, Rudy is hardly built for the gridiron.

MPAA: Rated PG for mild language.
Principal Cast: Sean Astin, Jon Favreau, and Ned Beatty
Director: David Anspaugh

Such a great clip. Gives me goosebumps to see what happened in Rudy's life, and what can happen in our lives too if we give it all to God.
